Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Nicole, a licensed clinical social worker offering telehealth therapy to adults in PA, DE, and IL through my practice, Bicoastal Counseling & Consultation. I have over a decade of experience working in mental health, schools, and nonprofit settings. I specialize in supporting adults dealing with anxiety, life transitions, burnout, and relationship challenges. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in real-life experience.

My approach to therapy

I offer a supportive, judgment-free space where clients can explore what’s holding them back and work toward lasting change. My approach blends practical strategies with deeper self-exploration, using tools from CBT, mindfulness, and psychodynamic therapy. I specialize in working with caregivers, professionals, and those feeling overwhelmed or stuck. Together, we’ll identify patterns, build insight, and help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a supportive and nonjudgmental space where they feel heard, respected, and empowered. My goal is to help you gain clarity, build self-awareness, and develop practical tools to navigate life’s challenges. Sessions are collaborative and focused on what matters most to you—whether that’s managing stress, improving relationships, or breaking old patterns.
